As always, love camping at Trumbull Lake. Even though it rained every day, we were still able to get out and hike and enjoy the beauty of the area. Kimo, the camp host, was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful and keeps the campground in perfect condition!

Mooie rustige camping. Ontzettend aardige host. De schoonste pit toiletten die we ooit gehad hebben. Goede uitvals basis voor Yosemite via de tioga road.

Great campground. Shoutout to host Kimo. Clean bathrooms. We would come camp here again without hesitation

The camp host was SO helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The campground is beautiful and very well maintained. We only stayed 2 nights but would have happily stayed longer.

Fantastic stay at Trumbull Lake campground. Very quiet, great size sites. Easy access to trails, and the restaurant at Virginia Lakes resort was excellent.

Trumbull Lake is fantastic. Beautiful setting and well maintained. Host Kimo couldn't have been friendlier! I hesitate to write more because I don't want the place to become too popular!

I try to make it to the eastern side of the Sierras every summer, camping at 3 different spots each time I'm there, and over the years, I've found Kimo to be one of the best campground hosts.

I went with a fly fishing club and it was excellent. Kemo the host greeted everyone and made us all feel welcome. One member had campsite #42 with a trailer and it was very difficult to get level. They got there a little after 5 and Kemo worked with them until almost 9 trying to get them level. They got it pretty good then the next day several of us went over and finally had to get the jack out of the car to jack up the axel and we finally got it level. This site needs to have some leveling work done or be designated a tent site.

Hiking to the upper lakes was a beautiful experience
@MelissaB359768 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #27
We were supposed to be in 027 but wound up in 002 due to a small mix up. It was fine - I dont think theres a bad spot in the campground. The space was beautiful and the bathrooms were incredibly clean. My biggest regret is only being there for one day. I cant wait to go back. Also - the camp host was a true gem. Thank you so much Kimo - and thank you - we had enough gas to make it to Lee Vining.

We would give this campground 5 stars but we really didnt like all the flys. Way to many flysThe camp host was absolutely amazing. Great guy, super clean bathrooms, made his rounds and showed he really cared for the campground. Fishing was good at Trumbel lake never went down to Virginia lakes they were to busy .Please keep this camp host hes awesome

Campground and campsites were very clean. Bathrooms were always kept up and clean. Kimo is a great camp host. This place is our go-to when we camp in the Eastern Sierras!!
@AustinM1324750 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #16
Beautiful as always. Camp host was very friendly and helpful. Thanks!
@AmandaK6014539 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #40
Kemo the camp host was the best! He made sure we had everything we need! Definitely recommend fishing at all the surrounding lakes. We caught a lot of trout!
@OwenO9155735 · Camped on Jul 5, 2025 at Campsite #14
This refers to Site 14 only.This campsite is restricted access due to trees - and is narrow. While my 25' RV would have fit the length, the site was too narrow to safely reverse into. If you're in a tent, or a van style RV, you should be fine, but not reccomended for a wider class C or similar.
@RoyY1D6E5DF716 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #16
I been coming here for years, never been disappointed. Kimo, the Host, is super friendly and ALWAYS has touched base with me every year when I arrived. The fishing has always been good. Plenty of hiking trails, the hike to Blue Lake is spectacular!
@LadanBCB945F2A · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #42
Clean Bathrooms, friendly host, and a beautiful location!
@BradB8421095 · Camped on Jul 2, 2025 at Campsite #27
Kimo is the best!
@LisaC6980823 · Camped on Jun 28, 2025 at Campsite #27
Kimo who was the camp host is absolutely awesome! Gave super great recommendations for the area and was extremely friendly and approachable. The bathrooms were so clean and surprisingly did not smell. You could tell campers were extremely respectful in this area and that Kimo maintained the area so well. The camp ground was quiet and very peaceful. highly recommend if you're truly looking to disconnect.

We had the best time camping at camp site #10. Although there was a lot more vegetation then any of our other visits (which meant more bugs/mosquitos), we still had a really great time! Took the hike to Frog Lakes, caught fish, and had some quality family time! Kimo was great as well as so helpful! Bathrooms were kept very clean!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
